Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

The 'I Left It For You' Game

There are still two more fries
A bite of tomato
I don't think that you'll die
If you polish off those potatoes

One more bite of fish
And you'll clean your plate
C'mon and finish that dish
It's already quite late --

Why leave one measly cookie
You've always loved dessert
At eating sweets you're no rookie
No one's feelings will be hurt

In almost every family, the story's the same
  ~ People play the 'I left it for you' game

Kurt Ravidas August 3, 2019 at 7:25 AM Yeah, and the final crescendo in this family harmony: "Who does the dishes?") Gershon Wolf August 3, 2019 at 10:15 PM Our final crescendo is: Who sleeps with the dog in the doghouse? ~ gw

Sandra Adams August 2, 2019 at 7:46 PM lol....i dislike when they leave one tiny morsel of cake in a big pan, or one cookie in a pack....humorous write Gershon...i think we all have someone like that at home :) hugs Gershon Wolf August 3, 2019 at 10:14 PM Yeah, it can get pretty frustrating at times... But not worth getting aggravated about it really. :) gw
